I'm ready learns and to work on their correction. Thank you! Here are some comments: - to ask for review/upload/comments it's better if you upload your package to mentors.debian.net and send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not many people look at wnpp bugs :) ), so please do it from now on - why you provide a tar with all the stuff in, instad of simply publishing the source package (.orig.tar.gz, .dsc, .diff.gz)? it's easier to review and download (dget file.dsc for example) - the directory in the tarball contains some .torrent file, not present in the upstream tarball (ok, we don't look at it for review, but curious :) ) - instead of directly change the upstream code, it's better if you use a patch system like dpatch[1] or quilt - if you don't need stuff in debian/rules, just remove them (don't leave commented lines in it, it's less readable) - clearly separate copyright and license notices in debian/copyright - remove the a from the short description Description: a delimited word diff program (there is a paragraph about it on Developer Reference, but i'm too lazy to search and refer to it :) ) Please note that I didn't build your package (I'm on win now), but you might want to build it in pbuilder to be sure its build-depends are all there in debian/control file. Ah, and use lintian (don't know if you already do it). Please upload to mentors.d.n the updated version and we'll check it there after.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: dwdiff Version : 1.4 Upstream Author : G. Halkes [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://os.ghalkes.nl/dwdiff.html * License : GPLv3 Programming Lang: C Description : front-end for the diff program that operates word by word dwdiff is a front-end for the diff program that operates at the word level instead of the line level. It is different from wdiff in that it allows the user to specify what should be considered whitespace, and in that it takes an optional list of characters that should be considered delimiters. Delimiters are single characters that are treated as if they are words, even when there is no whitespace separating them from preceding words or delimiters. dwdiff is mostly commandline compatible with wdiff. Only the --autopager, --terminal and --avoid-wraps options are not supported. The default output from dwdiff is the new text, with the deleted and inserted parts annotated with markers. Command line options are available to change both what is printed, and the markers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
